BREAKING NEWS!1 february 2018
i will spare you the details, but after a
year of hopelessly suffering my quickly degenerating web host i have
decided to discontinue our collaboration - and spread the word: freewebs
sucks!

which means that with immediate effectcaptain beefheart electricitywill be flashing on at the new addressbeefheart.xyz
see you there, you're welcome...

after english, german and french
books about captain beefheart and the magic band this summer the italians
also got their much-needed background story. it has a glossy lay-out and
the surprising format of a cd-box. in fact it's a kind of mini repeat of
the 1993 'stand up to be discontinued' art book with some reproductions
taken from it; but also with paintings and poems from 'skeleton breath,
scorpion blush' from 1987 and a poem and three drawings from the 1983 periodical
conjunctions
(#3).

another nice thought was to present an (not
perfect) english translation along the italian text, so a bigger part of
the world can read it. unfortunately it then turns out that there are a
lot of plain citings from articles, numerous spelling faults in titles
and incomplete or wrong facts that easily could have been prevented. wanna
have examples? on page 31 'it is early 1970 and mascara snake and doug
moon leave the band'. well, doug had only been a guest - and worst of all:
jeff cotton also left, but isn't mentioned. fie; a simple look at colin
webb's band line-ups would have avoided this blunder. and the rather good,
quite extensive discography is u.s. and u.k. only and... missing the 'diddy
wah diddy' single.

but altogether it's a nice try and folks
that couldn't afford or obtain one of the 'stand up to be discontinued'
books with the legendary POETRY READING SEQUENCE
ceedee,
can make good: the item includes a 3-inch
RE-RELEASE!

CONCLUSION: not
so well-doneMY ADVICE: buy
it if you missed 'stand up to be discontinued'

since a few months record stores (like the
ones on the web) can provide you with a 1996 italy
ceedee
with extensive booklet CAPTAIN BEEFHEART *
BEAUTIFUL MORNING with the same specifications!(?).
now i would say: do like me and lets wait till someone tells us more about
it.
